Welsh Cakes
Thank you Hitty Madge!
Another thoughtful Hitty friend, Hitty Madge has sent Constance a Postcard!…..
A Tempting Recipe
Madge knew that while it was wonderful to get a postcard, and the picture was very lovely, it was the Recipe that tickled our inspiration…Constance decreed it must be tried at once!

Constance set to work!

Greasy Luck
…making a few substitutions according to what was in our store cupboard at the time, but pretty much sticking to the recipe…

Hitty’s favourite spice
Constance, hearkening back to the Original Hitty’s book felt no qualms about using nutmeg instead of mixed spice!

Cut out circles
The Human used a biscuit-cutter but Constance found a bottle top to be the right size for her griddle.

A Medium Griddle
Two minutes a side on medium heat…

Big and small
…resulted in many lovely cakes…

A Welsh Cake Feast!

Quimper Hittys 
We are very impressed about your ingenuity, Constance. How very sensible of you to use a bottle top as a cutter. We love Welsh cakes but alwayshave to slice up a big person one and use it as a large cake – not ideal as they should really be eaten fresh off the griddle, still warm. Our Mamgu (grandma) likes hers with butter.
Love,
Mary N-Q-Hitty xxx
M-m-m we agree with your Mamgu, everything is better with butter!
Oh yum. Something to look forward to 🙂 And what a thoughtful card to receive in the mail.
We have such thoughtful Hitty friends! The little Welsh Cakes have been scarfed by hungry little people, but the big ones are lovely and fresh!
And delicious too, now that I have had one 🙂
this is just lovely. It is a rainy fall day here in Mo. and this was the perfect antidote to sit and savor…even
if only via these great photos.
Raining here too! The welsh cakes are delicious, with tea or without!
Hitty Madge is delighted that you have made the Welsh Cakes and enjoyed them. Such a clever idea using a bottle top, the perfect size indeed….just thinking about them is making us all hungry.
It was lucky the bottle top was the right size! The Quimper Hittys and humans both adore the Welsh Cakes – Please convey our thanks to Madge again!
